Downloaded from Zapstore. It's great.

I will be happy to test it with anyone that have it.

Is it good for large public groups?

No, this is suitable for small to medium private groups. For large public groups, you can try using 0xchat’s NIP-29 public group.

I see, I heard nostr:npub1whtn0s68y3cs98zysa4nxrfzss5g5snhndv35tk5m2sudsr7ltms48r3ec is good for public groups, but haven't figured out how to start one yet, the app is still too barbones I guess.. nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 is painfully buggy in some sections, like e.g. managing relays section.. I'll make sure to open some issues on Github, thanks for the tip

I am the 0xchat dev, feedbacks are welcome! 👍

it's not IRC >_< ok fortunately they changed that one to hexchat anyway so ok, the new xchat is nostr lol

Good job! I really like.

Will you be putting this out for desktop/web browser?

Yes, the desktop version is in the plans.

Does it have bitchat protocol fallback support? That would be cool. Especially on a plane when family are not sitting together 🙂

Bitchat integration / p2p chatting via BLE is on the plan list

Is it compatible with Keychat?

It’s not compatible with Keychat, but with Whitenoise, as both use NIP-EE.

.. just tried, unflrtunately it seems:

- losting all 0xchat profiles

- tor seems broken, adding onion address relay to circles seems not working

.. also all old groups seems lost .. can't make them working

XChat is a standalone app (based on MLS), not compatible with 0xchat.

So, oxchat develop will go ahead and it is not including xchat ? I didn't understood this post that told that it was a rebrand ..

Yes, 0xchat and XChat will continue to be developed, but with different focuses.

非常好,👍。
